If you want the code and don't want to give me your email address just let me know and I'll upload it somwhere.

Hi, a fascinating page of compositions Peter, lots of well placed sounds and excellent consideration of arrangements and sounds...will be back to l;isten to on a better sound system soon weel done

Great idea. I'd love to hear the sonification of the legendary "Hiroshima" Go game...

When The Moon Dies Out

The Dark Symphony

Prelude To Darkness

The Dream Sequence

An instant analog feel jam aimed at classic Warp IDM.  deployed pro-53 ,808, various step sequencing,  obvious breakbeats and plenty saturation to get similar to selected ambientworks on old tapes. ableton is just great this is an improvisation on session view , excerpt 4 mins from couple of hours of a jam. 
I'm not sure the right of the swedish rhapsody irdial (public domain?)but it helped something like old cold war feel, here it is. i remember flying lotus and stereolab used it https://archive.org/details/ird059

Tcp D1 1 [disquiet0137 - Oldtimeelectronica]

NOTE: this is intended to be played as a loop using the repeat function recently introduced by Soundcloud. 

Addendum: The looping issue I experienced seems to be an artifact of using Safari initially. Once played in Chrome, the repeat point seems somewhat more consistent. 

This is a bit of a disappointment for me as I adore vinyl lock groove recordings. I would have loved to produce a loop that could be consistently looped on Soundcloud. But the repeat function seems barely useable, and it is definitely NOT operating as a loop should with gapless playback. So, I tried to create a loop that leant itself to the random periodicity between playbacks on Soundcloud. In my testing, gaps anywhere from one to ten seconds seem to occur. I found such gaps really detracting when listening to other's loops (though the material in the loops was great) so I decided to build some moments of silence into my loop hoping that this would mask the inconsistencies of playback on this platform. I don't think it actually works though. I recontextualized a portion from my most recent composition: https://soundcloud.com/337is/love-abounding-neurorack-sketch-2

Where all sounds were created and processed using EEG data. See www.sound-machines.it/index.php/bi1brainterface/ for more details on the amazing device I used. All outputs of the BI1brainterface were routed to the Shapeshifter, Optomix, and Spring Reverb as control CVs.

Disquiet Junto Project 0153: Groove Lock
The Assignment: Record a short sound intended to be set on repeat.

SoundCloud recently introduced the ability for a track to be looped on the website. That is, the listener can hit a button (details at disquiet.com/QVvCF) and the track will play over and over. This week’s project will make use of that feature. This week’s project will also, I should note, inform next week’s project. But you can do next week’s without doing this week’s, and vice-versa.

Step 1: Record a short, original piece of music/sound of between roughly 3 and 9 seconds intended to be set on repeat.

Step 2: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 3: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 3 and 9 seconds long.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, December 4, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, December 8, 2014, as the deadline.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0153-groovelock” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to include this information:

Love, Abounding (Chopped & Skrewed Loopt Edit) [disquiet0153-groovelock]

Used my own track - Axial - already randomly generated and waiting to come to terms with. Picked up  Steve Moshier's — No Cause for Alarm (disquiet0153-groovelock) - a solid contrast of speed/density and sat well harmonically. Stacked the loops in PC sequencer, with some re-pitching into bass and scattering into higher registers. Braided a long echoing software synth across to hold it all together and mimic Steve's voicing.

Spoiled for choice with so many great samples ... used a couple more as meat for effects/filters and sprinkled them through. Thanks to:
 Dave Dorgan — 0092 
 VG mrmojo — 0153groovelock 
 Peter Tigges — What does 273.15 K taste like?

The Assignment: Create a track from two locked grooves.

This week’s Disquiet Junto project builds on last week’s. Last week, 67 different musicians uploaded as many locked grooves. This week we’ll make new music atop the locked grooves. Here are the steps. Note that there are some options:

Step 1: Choose two locked grooves from the set at http://goo.gl/0s4WmM. You can accomplish this in several ways. You can choose random numbers between 1 and 67 and use those tracks, or you can just select the tracks you most want to work with. Note that most of the tracks should be set to allow, via Creative Commons, for non-commercial re-use. However, if you aren’t sure, please contact the musician to confirm.

Step 2: Make a new track alternating the two locked grooves for between one and two minutes.

Step 3: Use the track that resulted from step 2 as the foundation for a new piece of music. Transform it as you desire, which might include altering the foundational track and adding new material atop it.

Step 4: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 1 and 2 minutes long.

 


CoAxial [disquiet0154-grooveunlocked]

just modular puredata.  Step sequencers, drones and hand-modulated parameters. Wish I had a decent midi controller here....  If you want to check by yourself the sequencer environment, get it here: http://servando.teks.no/?serquencer 
Comes with a detailed manual in Eng + Spanish . 

DF-2 In C

This is my first project using the powerful SuperCollider audio-programming language. It’s the sonification of a game of Go I played with a friend of mine (it works with any recorded match). 
Stones of different colour are represented by different synths and (in this case pentatonic) scales.
The synth for the black stones is based on the first four partials of an oscillating rod described in Andy Farnell’s highly recommended book “Designing Sound”, that for the white ones on a bell patch from Nick Collins’ great SC tutorial. 
Pitch and pan are determined by the distance of the last-set stone from the center of the board, amount of reverb and amplitude by the number of liberties of the stone and connections to stones of the same colour respectively.
When stones are captured, this activates the third synth (some noise), whose duration and amplitude are controlled by the number of captured stones.
I also added some random variation of rhythm to represent the changing time between moves.

It would be nice not to need an additional array for the captured stones and to be able to enter the moves via a GUI rather than having to tediously enter them into arrays but both are way beyond my possibilities at the moment.

If you like this (also if not) please give me some feedback!
Interested in the code? Just send me your email address and I’ll mail it to you for free use.

Enjoy!
